In many ways this is close to an ideal turn of events.
Now the republicans have to actually come up with legislation. They've been defending a fixed position, the easiest kind of warfare. Now they'll have to engage the actual problems, instead of blocking.
We should be rooting for them to repeal the healthcare bill, it was a bailout of the insurance industries, and a bad bill.
We should be rooting for them to investigate global warming and block research - nothing could be better than having them protect the oil industry.
Let them attack the gays - nothing could be better. Let them attack the colored - nothing could be better. Let them ban stem cells and outlaw abortion - it's absolutely perfect.
Let's see how they create jobs. Let's see what issues they decide to own.
